Chapter 697

"Found it!"

Luo Chenyu's eyes lit up; just outside the cliff, a pitch-black vortex hung in midair.

The aura emanating from the vortex was precisely the energy that had attacked him at the teleportation array's entrance.

In other words, that sixth guy was inside.

Even if he isn't the final boss of the Shadow Realm, so what?

Paying attention to every tiny detail isn't just talk.

He checked his status.

Luo Chenyu leapt into the vortex without hesitation.

In an instant.

The scene before him shifted, and he appeared inside a lavish palace.

The palace was entirely black, yet emitted a hazy glow, utterly devoid of the previous darkness—instead, it radiated an eerie, divine aura.

Luo Chenyu glanced around but found no trace of the sixth guy.

Here, his spiritual sense was completely useless.

The suppression this place exerted on him was obvious.

The most important of these was.

Skill range.

Many of his skills relied on spiritual sense.

Now, without spiritual sense, his attack range had reverted to its original state.

"I know you're here—come out, Little Blackie!"

"Hehehehe… Welcome to My Palace, insignificant human!!"

As Luo Chenyu's voice faded, a sinister tone echoed through the palace, yet no one could tell where it originated.

Luo Chenyu wasn't alarmed—he was delighted; the boy's instinct had been right.

He'd finally found the right place.

"Hehe… Won't you come out and show yourself? This isn't how you treat guests."

"I'll emerge when I choose—but you're not worthy to be my guest. At best, you're just an ant about to become my puppet."

"So much nonsense…"

Luo Chenyu shook his head in disdain.

A fearsome wolf-headed club appeared in his hand; he growled coldly: "If you're going to fight, get on with it—I don't have time to chat with you."

Real man…

Just do it!

All talk, no action—what a disgrace.

"As you wish!"

As the words ended, a mass of black mist materialized in the center of the palace hall.

It churned incessantly.

A foul, evil aura erupted violently.

In an instant.

Gales surged forth as dozens of black "tentacles" burst from the mist.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

…

The black "tentacles" shot toward Luo Chenyu the moment they appeared, moving so fast they seemed to pierce through space.

Yet…

All the black "tentacles" collided—stopping dead at the ten-meter perimeter around Luo Chenyu, unable to advance an inch.

【Steel Shield】—perfectly blocked!

But…

Luo Chenyu sighed faintly; this damn thing's attack was actually quite strong.

One round of assault had drained several billion shield points.

"Can you hit harder? I feel nothing—it's leaving me half-erected and miserable!"

BOSS: "???"
